Do you have plans for building a better mousetrap, and a contract to sell as many as you can make, but not enough cash to build that manufacturing facility to manufacture them?
Have you entered into an agreement to sell goods or services? You obtain a contract with them, and are absolutely delighted, but you need money from the order and can't wait several years for them to pay you.
Now you have a way to access those funds. It is a way that very, very few members of the financing community even know exists. We fund against stand-by letters of credit (SBLC) and irrevocable letters of credit (LOC).
Keep in mind that other forms of financing require you to have a stake in the deal. Take construction projects. You'll have to produce detailed schedules and plans. with most lenders. Not so here. What's more, we take your unconditional contract in lieu of "skin in the game." Your credit worthiness, net worth, and current financials do not play a part in the approval criteria. Instead, we look at the person or entity paying on the collateralized paper.
The low-down is that I can buy as much of your qualified (investment grade) paper as you want to sell.
Reasons For Using This Type Of Funding:
Ease of Close
Flexibility of structuring (deferred payments, repayment start date, etc)
SPEED of funding (two weeks or less typically)
NO SURPRISES
NO up front fees
No other fees (such as renewal fees, underwriting, or closing)
NO Equity to give away
Don't have a Letter Of Credit, but have something else you'd like to borrow against? An unconditional contract, bond, irrevocable letter of credit, CD, or other assignable instrument with measurable value can be used as collateral. All instruments used as collateral must be unconditional, ("take or pay"), and of investment grade, assignable to a third party. The collateral must fall under U.S. law jurisdiction, meaning that the bank must have a US afilliate banch. The grade of the collateral is based on the guarantor who is responsible for the cash flow, not to you. In fact, primary consideration for the approval for funding is the credit worthiness of the business entity that is responsible for paying on the instrument.
CD's- Grade is evaluated by the bank that is holding the CD
Mutual Funds- Grade is evaluated by the bank that is holding the CD
Unconditional contracts to purchase goods- Grade is evaluated by the purchaser of the goods.
Unconditional bonds- Grade is evaluated by the issuer of the bond.
Unconditional retirement package- Grade is evaluated by the entity paying the retirement benefits.
Annuities- Grade is evaluated by the entity paying out or holding the annuity.
Tax Credits- Grade is evaluated by the entity issuing the tax credit.
Up to 100% of the acceptable collateral's value, less the cost of funds (interest).
Loan amounts from $10 million and greater fit well into this loan program.
